   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

2. 2

   Using a serrated knife, cut the bread diagonally in 1-inch intervals, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom crust.

3. 3

   Rotate the bread and cut diagonally in the opposite direction to create a diamond cross-hatch pattern.

   In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, parsley, and salt until smooth.

5. 5

   Gently pry open the cracks of the bread and spread the garlic butter mixture generously inside all the crevices.

6. 6

   Stuff the shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese into the cracks until the loaf is well-packed.

   Wrap the entire loaf loosely in foil and bake for 15 minutes.

8. 8

   Uncover the bread and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
